Subject: Suggested Viewing from the NEWLINUX Collection

Over the years I have collected on a 64Gb USB Thumb-drive, many more than 1850 videos, that I believe are important for those that are new to Linux. They mostly cover computers, open source, Linux, networking and security.

I don't totally agree fully with the conclusions, content, interpretations or viewpoints presented within each and every one of them; but, I want to start sharing the information here. More to come.

Once upon a time, not too long ago, there was an excellent EzeeLinux dot Com site run by Joe Collins that focused on Open Source GNU/Linux Operating Systems. That site was affiliated with the now defunct FreedomPenguin dot Com site hosted by Matt Hartley.

Unfortunately, the EzeeLinux dot Com domain now goes to a site with vastly different interests. Many of the videos from the orginal site are mostly still available from the channel that Joe Collins still has on YouTube dot Com. Yet, items are often hard to find.

Below are listed some of the videos from that past that are suggested for Newcomers to Linux. Eventually I will be listing more individual selections. This is a work in progress, and only recently started.
